The aggrieved protesters who displayed placards containing messages communicating their grievances, lamented that the airline failed to pay the seven months salary owed workers.
They further stated that the airline engaged in other anti-labour practices, hence the need for the indefinite strike action.
Some of the inscriptions on the placards read, ‘a disgruntled worker is an accident waiting to happen’, ‘Arik owes staff 7 month salaries, default in taxes and other statutory deduction’.
